Ezekiel 35
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
2 “You human, turn toward Edom and prophesy what will happen to its people. Say that this is what Yahweh says to them:
fili hominis pone faciem tuam adversum montem Seir et prophetabis de eo et dices illi
3 ‘You who live near Seir Mountain [in Edom], I am opposed to you, and I will use my power [MTY] to strike you and cause your country to become a wasteland.
haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego ad te mons Seir et extendam manum meam super te et dabo te desolatum atque desertum
4 I will cause your country to be ruined and desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
urbes tuas demoliar et tu desertus eris et scies quia ego Dominus
5 You have always been enemies of the Israeli people. You [rejoiced] when they experienced a great disaster: [their enemies attacked them with] swords, when I punished them [for the sins that they had committed].
eo quod fueris inimicus sempiternus et concluseris filios Israhel in manus gladii in tempore adflictionis eorum in tempore iniquitatis extremae
6 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will allow [your enemies] to slaughter [MTY] you and continue to slaughter you. You were happy when [LIT] others were slaughtered;
propterea vivo ego dicit Dominus Deus quoniam sanguini tradam te et sanguis te persequetur et cum sanguinem oderis sanguis persequetur te
7 so I will cause Seir Mountain to be abandoned/deserted, and I will get rid of anyone who enters it or leaves it.
et dabo montem Seir desolatum et desertum et auferam de eo euntem et redeuntem
8 I will cause your mountains to be filled with [the corpses of] those who have been killed. The corpses of those who have been killed by [your enemies’] swords will lie on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines.
et implebo montes eius occisorum suorum in collibus tuis et in vallibus tuis atque in torrentibus interfecti gladio cadent
9 I will cause your land to be deserted forever. No one will live in your towns again. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
in solitudines sempiternas tradam te et civitates tuae non habitabuntur et scietis quoniam ego Dominus
10 You people said, “Israel and Judah will become ours. We will take over their territory!” You said that even though I, Yahweh, was still there [and protecting them].
eo quod dixeris duae gentes et duae terrae meae erunt et hereditate possidebo eas cum Dominus esset ibi
11 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will punish [MTY] you for being angry with my people, envying them, and hating them.
propterea vivo ego dicit Dominus Deus quia faciam iuxta iram tuam et secundum zelum tuum quem fecisti odio habens eos et notus efficiar per eos cum te iudicavero
12 Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have heard all the disgusting things that you have said about the mountains in Israel. You said that they have been ruined/devastated, and that they have been given to you to occupy [MET].
et scies quia ego Dominus audivi universa obprobria tua quae locutus es de montibus Israhel dicens deserti nobis dati sunt ad devorandum
13 When you insulted me, I heard all that you said about me.
et insurrexistis super me ore vestro et rogastis adversum me verba vestra ego audivi
14 So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: You people who live on Seir Mountain and in all the other places in Edom, when I cause your land to become desolate, everyone in the entire world will rejoice.
haec dicit Dominus Deus laetante universa terra in solitudinem te redigam
15 You were happy when the land [MTY] of the Israeli people became desolate, so I will cause your land to become desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
sicuti gavisus es super hereditatem domus Israhel eo quod fuerit dissipata sic faciam tibi dissipatus eris mons Seir et Idumea omnis et scient quia ego Dominus
